Thanks Dan for the link to CS22.
I think the bit I wanted is CS 22.581 (b)(2)
The ultimate strength of the weak link must be not less than 1.3 x Max
weight.

So for a Max weight of 565kg weak link should be 735kg

So the glider will take off at 565kg plus 735kg = 1300kg?? Wow!

Of course it would. Probably at around 65 - 70 knots. And keep your turns down to maybe 45 degrees of bank if you don't want to break it -- 60 degrees (2 G) absolute maximum.
